Die Unternehmensgeschichte
Produkte und Unternehmensidee der MVG® Mathé Schmierstofftechnik GmbH basieren auf den Ideen und Entwicklungen des österreichischen Rennfahrers und Konstrukteurs Otto Mathé.
1930 – 1956
The Austrian universal technician and racing driver Otto Mathé developed oil additives that were already a real insider tip in racing circles at the time. Otto Mathé was a pioneer of lubricant technology and, with his commitment, a great role model for Niki Lauda.
Mit Hilfe seiner Öl-Additive fuhr Otto Mathé He went from victory to victory in his home-built vehicles with Prosche engines, although the engines in his vehicles were usually far inferior to the factory racing cars. Even back then, the significantly increased stability and torsional rigidity of his engines thanks to his oil additives was a key to his success.
Niki Lauda, former Formula 1 world champion, said in an interview: "Otto Mathé I adored him even as a little boy. I admired his cars and how he raced with just one arm!".
Otto Mathé's name was mentioned in the same breath as Juan Manuel Fangio and Rudolf Caracciola called. In 1952, the winner was Otto Mathé in 20 starts in 20 races and became Austrian national champion. One of his greatest successes was third place in the 1953 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. Ahead of him were only Juan Manuel Fangiothe world champion, and former world champion Dr. Farina. In order to properly appreciate this performance and the will to succeed and win that characterized him, you have to know that not only was the rated power of his engine significantly lower than that of his competitors, but that he also had to ride with one arm! His right arm had been paralyzed since his accident in a sand track race in 1934.


from 1950
Initially in parallel with his sporting activities and later exclusively, the Otto Mathé with the oil additives he had developed. To this end, he founded the company Otto Mathé, Specialty Lubricants.
Zeit seines Lebens entwickelte er seine Öl-Additive immer weiter; sie stellten stets das tribologisch optimal Machbare da. Seiner Maxime, die jeweils handelsüblichen Motoren- und Getriebeöle durch seine MATHÉ additives He has always remained true to his goal of optimizing the product for the benefit of the user or end consumer. MATHÉ additives have always increased the performance of engine and transmission oils in such a way that wear and engine stress have been reduced to a minimum, which in turn has considerably increased load capacity and durability!

1984
Dierk Müllera longtime classic car enthusiast and active and committed participant and organizer of classic car rallies for decades, came into contact with the MATHÉ-Additiven. The background to this was a "breakdown" to his 300 SL Gullwing Mercedes, which forced him to take part in the club's annual meeting without a suitable car. Said club friend (Dr. Klaus Räker from Lemgo; also a classic car fan and Porsche specialist) only said at the time: "If you had MATHÉ, this would not have happened to your engine!“.
Wieder Zuhause angekommen, startete Dierk Müller mit der Recherche nach MATHÉ-Additiven and contacting Otto Mathé. First the MATHÉ additives on one of his classic cars and then gradually equipped the entire classic car collection with it. All the classic cars showed better starting behavior, more revving, less wear, fewer deposits and there is no more "standstill damage" to this day!
